Setting the IP Address

Assigning an IP Address

An IP address is a unique number that consists of four sections that are delimited by a period and can include up to

three digits in each section, for example, 111.222.33.44.
You can select the IP mode from Dual Stack, IPv4, and IPv6. If your network supports both IPv4 and IPv6, select

Dual Stack.
Select the IP mode of your environment, and then set IP address, subnet mask (for IPv4 only), and gateway address.

CAUTION:

Assigning an IP address that is already in use can cause network performance issues.

NOTE:

Assigning an IP address is considered as an advanced function and is normally done by a system administrator.

NOTE:

When you assign an IP address manually in IPv6 mode, use the Dell™ Printer Configuration Web Tool. To display the Dell

Printer Configuration Web Tool, use the link-local address. To confirm the link-local address, print a printer settings report and

check the Link-Local Address under Network (Wired) or Network (Wireless).

For details about how to print a printer settings report, see "Report / List."
